Füssen - Germany

For general information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Füssen







General

Füssen is located just at the end of the route called "Romantishe Strasse" that runs from Würtzburg to Füssen. The distance on the whole route is about 300 kilometers. During the summer of 2007 we was looking forward to drive this route with such a beautyfull name. The highlight of this route was Rothenburg am then Tauber and Füssen. Now it may be others will have chosen other places, but this villages was amazing. We would chose Füssen as or number one.

What to do in Füssen

We think the most important attraction in the area is Neuschwanstein, the castle of King of Bavaria - King Ludwig II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuschwanstein). It is to most beautyfull Castle their is. It is said to be the model of Walt Disney castle in Disneyland. You will understand why, when visiting the castle. Now remember that this is a main attraction in the region so be early. Then you can choose your own time for guide tour. The lake in the valley closed to the castle is also beatyfull. Bring your swimsout as well during the summer time. You can also rent boats for a romantic ride on the lake.

There are also a quite smaller castle near Neuschwanstein, and many lovely and special buildings. You should allow one day here. The Castle is not for disabled persons.

In the village of Füssen there ar many beatyfull historic buildings. On the hill top there is a Barrack and a castle, in the main area of the villages many beautyfull and old building. Also the river that flowes thrue the city, in it's light green colour - whith the beatyfull alps in view.

Füssen is located near the border of Austria.

Where to stay?

We stayed in a lovely four star hotell called "Hotell Hirhs". This is a hotel we would like to recommend. It is located in the center of Füssen, with beatyfull interior (Antique) and exterior. The rooms are by all means nice. Lovely staff as well and great breakfast.
